BEST SHOT / TITLES

Best Shot is a new YouTube Originals Documentary Series that follows the Newark Central High School’s basketball team and their coach Shawn "O.G." McCray as he leads 18 young men through their personal struggles and adversities. Former NBA star Jay Williams joins the coaching staff as a mentor, imparting his expertise to cultivate a winning spirit and help the team (and individual players) achieve their greatest potential. We were given the task to design individual titles for each episode that reflect the two worlds between which the stars of the series live: complicated home situations and the basketball family. As they say in the show, “it’s all heart”.

THE NEW YORK CITY BALLET / ROMEO & JULIET

Slanted Studios partnered with the New York City Ballet to create an animated promotional video for their 2018 production of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. To create a montage of the star-crossed lovers’ most memorable moments, we drew inspiration from the painting style of Per Kirkeby, who also designed the set and costumes for the ballet. This set our stage for paint strokes and splashes of color to do their own dance, capturing the themes of youthful optimism and betrayal from the eternal romantic tale.

SAMSUNG / LANDFALL

On February 22, 2016, Samsung opened 837 Washington, their flagship playground in the heart of New York City's Meatpacking District. Guild commissioned a digital piece for the 32' x 30' screen wall inside the experience store.

Landfall 10.29.12 uses hand-painted digital waves and data from NOAA's Hudson River Tide Gages to visualize the rise and fall of the Hudson River's elevation between 2PM and 2AM on the evening of Hurricane Sandy's storm surge. The art follows the water as it rises almost ten feet to flood 837 Washington Street. As the piece follows the river to its 14-foot high point, the animated waves rise higher and higher and become more turbulent.
